The silky yet clear stone has a vibrant blue base color with hints of green.

Depending on the light source, blue can appear more vivid, green can appear more foreground, and you can see nuanced colors that are a mix of blue and green.

Depending on the light source, the transparency and intensity of the sparkle become more pronounced, or the brilliance overflows from behind a silky veil, creating a piece that changes its impression dramatically.

This piece is a capsule-shaped fancy oval created from a rough stone, with delicate flower cuts framing the edges on both ends.

The rough stone was a substantial 2.19 carats, but an inclusion was discovered during the process of creating the piece, so it was cut multiple times to create a more beautiful finish.

The initial rough grinding cut it into rounds, but due to the location of the inclusions it was difficult to remove them all.

Therefore, the size and shape were changed, and the roundness of the round cut was retained while creating a capsule oval cut.

This luxurious piece was created after much trial and error, extracting only the most beautiful parts to bring out the beauty and individuality of the raw stone.

The delicate cuts exude brilliance, and the different shades of blue blend together to create a beautiful sparkle with a light, silky feel.

This piece shows different expressions depending on the angle you look at it, which is unique to silky gemstones.

When you look at the piece vertically, you can enjoy the subtle differences in color from the dark to light blue areas.

When the piece is placed on its side, the shades of blue blend together, creating a multi-hued sparkle of deep blue, light blue, and clear colors.

The silk inclusions that flow seamlessly into the piece give it a profound impression.

The silk inclusions that accent the piece contain a soft gold color, creating a beautiful contrast with the blue background color.

There is a small inclusion on the culet side, but because it is located just behind the silk inclusion, it is barely visible from the front and does not detract from the impression of the piece.

Therefore, when you look at the culet side, it looks like the trailing edge of a star, which is one of the playful qualities of this gemstone.

This piece is from Cameroon, a rare and precious sapphire, and is extremely rare for its origin.

Gemstones that are clearly stated to have been produced in Cameroon are rarely seen on the market, making this a recommended stone for collections of the region.

When you hold this piece on your finger, you can fully enjoy its silky feel, while also noting its transparent, gorgeous sparkle and beautiful base color.

Silky gemstones can sometimes have a subdued shine and color when worn, but this piece's color deepens on the finger, and it has a radiant, transparent, and silky feel.

In addition, the gold-colored Schiller can be felt even on the fingers, and it blends well with the skin.

The silk inclusions give this piece a unique impression, making it a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry that you will want to cherish and keep close to you for a long time.

The 0.686ct oval shape makes it easy to use in jewelry , so we highly recommend this piece for tailoring as well.
